MEDIUM
Why does a pink colour appear upon gradually adding sodium hydroxide to a solution of acid having 2-3 drops of phenolphthalein?
MEDIUM
An acid-base indicator(pKa = 4.5271)has the acid form red and basic form blue. If we need 75% red to be converted into 75% blue form in solution, the change in pH of solution should be :

An indicator, HIn has a standard ionization constant of 9 · 0 × 1 0 - 9 . The acid colour of the indicator is yellow, and the alkaline colour is red. The yellow colour is visible when the ratio of yellow form to red form is 30:1 and the red colour is predominant when the ratio of red form to yellow form 2 : 1. What is the pH range of the indicator? ​Hence, report pH the difference in term pH values of the range.
